I saw NIN this past Thursday at the HOB in Atlantic city. There were no props, screens, or any other eye-candy, but this was possibly the best performance I've seen of theirs; very tight, great sound, and the energy was just incredible. And to top it off, we were treated to a surprise performance by Peter Murphy.

Last night @ the Crystal Ballroom. I don't agree with the review that was posted on the Oregonian website. They did struggle with the sound, especially the drums but otherwise a great show. The bands played great sets, the crowd loved them both. And with an encore that included 'Lawyers, Guns, & Money', a great night of rock 'n roll.

The opposite of the big names here: a local tuba quartet that's been playing together for 25 years doing a "Tuba Christmas". Not bad at all and "Donna Nobis Pacem" was arranged very well for tubas only.

A slight correction to your post Mr. Toobluvr...the Bearsville Theater is in Bearsville, NY.

An amazing show though!!! Can't wait to see them again.

There seems to be confusion about the address so I contacted the theater and was told
"Bearsville, though the street address is Woodstock, due to the fire department".

Anyway, it is a great, intimate venue for live music!

Rapeslaw. Amazing.

CYNIC & Meshuggah... One of the best Metal shows I've ever seen! Cynic was one of the pioneers of Progressive Death Metal - They have a huge jazz influence, so it makes for a really unique style. Amazing.

Last night - House of Blues - Dallas, TX
Dr. John and the Neville Brothers

Dr. John:
I saw him a couple of years ago at the House of Blues in New Orleans and would prefer to remember him as he was that night.

I've seen these guys many times and once again they rocked the house!!!!!!!!!

Not only are they the reining KINGS of New Orleans Funk and Mardi Gras Music but they did a couple of jazz tunes that blew my hair back. Great artists!!!!!! Great Show!!!!! Thanks Gentlemen

I go to honky-tonks primarily, last week was a Buddy Holly tribute at The Surf Club . J P McDermott hosted the show, he also spoke at the Smithsonian that day as he is an expert on BH. There was about 10 different line-ups, some mix and match, of DC area roots music greats. Washington has long been known as a roots town. Many of the bands here still play rockabilly.

It was a hot night at the Barrio Brewery, no stinkin' depression is going to stop us from having fun! Both the Flame Off and the Brewery were packed.

We started the night at the Sonoran Glass Art Academy's Flame Off! 2009!! with 24 glass artists competing against the clock to create the wildest, most innovative glass art creations in wearable art, marbles, and goblets/vessels.

Then we went next door for a microbrew and listen to The Tryst, a local indie band with jazz, soul, and Latin influences.

A good time was had by all.

The Barrio Brewery has 10 to 12 very special microbrews on tap.

The Tryst

I saw Hillary Hahn play UNC Memorial Hall last night. She was stunningly beautiful in a dark gold glittery gown. I did not know what the program would be like, I assumed the typical symphonic concerto warhorse like Tchaikovsky or Brahms, but was thrilled when I walked in to see only a 9 foot Steinway on the stage. I said to my wife, "This is gonna be good..."

She started with a solo Sonata by Eugène Ysaÿe, then Charles Ives duet, more Ysayes, Brahms Hungarian Dances. During the intermission I overheard a guy insisting that "the Brahms was the only thing any good in the whole first set." haha

Hahn is an intellectual, chooses music that is a bit heady, but plays it well. My wife and I LOVED the Ysaye pieces. We had fun joking around after the concert trying to decide how to pronounce it. haha

2nd set was mostly more of the same. 2 pieces by Ives, another Ysaye, ending it all with the jewel of the evening Barktok dances arranged by Joseph Joachim. After 3 ovations, she played an encore, I don't know what it was, but it was an easy listening romantic duet, probably what many of the patrons hoped to hear. Program details.

It was great to see one of the worlds top 3 violinists playing solo recital at the peak of her power.

I saw Julie Fischer (another top 3) last summer with an orchestra, playing the Glazunov Concerto. She was truly awesome. I felt like I was in the presence of a great master. But Hahn was very different. She was more real, very humble yet powerful. It was harder work to keep up with her, but the rewards for concentrating were great.

She is playing this chamber duo show in eastern US over the next month. I recommend it if you like modern era composers played to the highest potential. That's a rare occurance.

Here's a taste of her playing Bach:

Big Head Todd & the Monsters Thursday night @ Jannus Landing. Nice venue, outdoors in downtown St. Pete. It's kind of a courtyard area between some older 2-4 story buildings. It was a good set. I hadn't seen them in about 10 years. The band had a good energy and the set list was good. not too reliant on older material. The new songs stood up well with they're older stuff.

A few of us went and saw Vienna Teng last night in a small film studio, maybe held 125 people...just her and her producer (Alex Wong playing multiple percussion instruments and an assortment of others) phenomenal venue and a really fantastic show by a very talented singer/songwriter pair....they are heading out on tour, look for this show it's definitely worth going to...http://viennateng.com/

The French Kicks @ The Independent in SF last night. Part of the Noise Pop festival. Their set was too short though.

Hey it's me again. Estelle at Mezzanine, SF. Fun performance. Fun crowd. The Mezzanine's sound stinks (to put it mildly)
